Gilles Peterson

In memory of the late, great Horace Silver, who sadly passed way earlier this week, it only seemed right for Gilles to do a tribute mix featuring some of his greatest works. As one of the most prestigious American jazz musicians, Horace became close with Blue Note's Alfred Lion and Francis Wolff, going on to release a large body of work on the legendary label, over a 30 year period. RIP Horace Silver.

In this podcast, whilst the boys are sound-checking next door, Neneh discusses the Blank Project's inception and the unusual surroundings in which it was recorded, how she first connected with Kieran Hebden/Four Tet and the Rocket Number Nine guys, and talks about the role her father, legendary musician Don Cherry, played in her own musical development.

(http://www.gillespetersonworldwide.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/CC_brownswood_2_crop-e1380661432710.jpg) This young Norwegian producer first caught our ears last year with a clutch of killer edits and the excellent 'Mirror Maru EP' (https://soundcloud.com/cashmerecat/mirrormaru), the latter remaining firmly wedged in Gilles' record box and radio playlists right up to today. In fact, the title track kicks off proceedings GP's Worldwide FM station on the new GTA V game. In town for the Earnest Endeavours jam (https://www.facebook.com/events/292723284202750/) on Thursday night, we had to invite him over for a tea (peppermint & liquorice) and a session on the decks in the Basement. 36 mins with Cashmere Cat sounds like this then...

Mostly recorded in Israel but featuring musicians from all over the Middle Eastern region (Morocco, Turkey, Greece, Egypt) it highlights the amazing fusion of Arabic folk music with jazz, rock, funk and disco styles in the early 70s.

(http://www.gillespetersonworldwide.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Atjazz_Karizma_Gilles_WEB-e1378380245379.jpg) Two certified dons of the Worldwide underground dropped by last week for a very special back-to-back mix in the basement and a catch-up with Gilles. Atjazz has been at the top of his game for nigh on 20 years, globally renowned and respected for the deeply melodic and soulful productions on his own labels Mantis Recordings and Atjazz Record Company. He's also been a prolific remixer leading R2 Records to compile some of his finest work on a new album entitled 'More Than A Remix' (http://www.r2records.com/featured-slider/atjazz-more-than-a-remix/). Hailing from Baltimore, Karizma co-founded the mighty Unruly Records imprint alongside Scottie B and Shawn Caesar, before joining the production powerhouse that was Basement Boys. He's also three solo albums deep (new album 'Wall Of Sound' (http://www.r2records.com/r2-news-august-2013/) dropped this week) and has developed his own unique and instantly recognisable bumpy, choppy style. The two have recently started DJing and producing together under the moniker Exist.

(http://www.gillespetersonworldwide.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Alice_Russell-e1366724447698.jpeg) One of the finest contemporary soul voices to come out of the UK and an all round national treasure, Alice Russell dropped by Brownswood a little while back as she was preparing to release her brand new album 'To Dust'. It has to be said she mostly came for Cheese Wednesday, but she did catch up with Gilles in the basement to discuss her ongoing collaborations with the likes of Quantic and TM Juke, the new record, as well as spinning some inspirational tracks.

(http://www.gillespetersonworldwide.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Jamie_Lidell_GP-e1362656154341.jpg) Genius singer-songwriter and production mastermind Jamie Lidell (check his tour dates (http://www.jamielidell.com)) has been roaming around the fringes of mainstream consciousness for over a decade. A veteran of Warp's impressive artist roster, he has consistently flirted with pop sensibilities but his approach has always skewed delightfully from the left, resulting in a string of killer albums that have cemented his global reputation. His new album 'Jamie Lidell' (https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/jamie-lidell/id581380661) finds him in synth heaven, inspired by the likes of Jam & Lewis, George Clinton and Cameo, and on a recent trip to London he joined Gilles in the basement for a good ol' chat about the past, present and future plans.

(http://www.gillespetersonworldwide.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/bobby_gilles_low1-e1358957026316.jpg) Just before Xmas we were blessed to welcome the legendary singer-songwriter Bobby Womack to the Brownswood Basement for a chat with Gilles. The original interview was broadcast on Gilles' BBC Radio 6 Music show but, given the super-heavyweight status of Mr Womack and his history in music, we couldn't resist posting up this special extended version. Shouts to Dave O'Donnell on the edit!!

We're back in business now though and kicking off with DJ.NATURE aka Nature Boy aka Milo - Wild Bunch OG, Major Force West affiliate and connoisseur of that good stuff... full spectrum... from hip-hop to house and techno and beyond. Gilles hooked up with him for a chat about his worldwide travels and the inspirations behind his new record - 'Return Of The Savage' - forthcoming on Golf Channel Recordings (http://www.golfchannelrecordings.com/). Rugged and raw basement soul vibes - just how we like it. What's more, he recorded a dope "Influences" mix for us.
